1/1

1. A baby was born on an airline flight to the U.S. last night, and one of the doctors who helped deliver it said: “… people vacated their seats. The spirit of America is alive.” How far have we fallen, that people giving up their seats for a woman in labor, is seen as: “Oh, America is still such a giving place!”

2. Claiborne Pell, the senator behind the government college tuition grants, has died. And it’s coincided exactly with the death of the money to pay for the program too.

3. A new study shows that virginity pledges are not enough to keep young women from having sex. Well, they certainly don’t work with seven-year-old boys. “Ooo, cooties!” So the chastity belt is making a comeback.

4. Two sons have found their dad’s submarine 65 years after it sunk. In fact, it was right where they’d left it - in the bathtub.

5. A reclusive man in England apparently kept cars worth millions of dollars in his garage until the day he died. Kind of like General Motors’ warehouse of electric cars.
